My sincere condolences to all of you. Maxine and I were best friends from the time we were babies thru high school. Her obituary says it all. She was a great person. Sorry we were not in touch for many years but I will always remember our fun filled years together.
Alan, I was with her when she taught you all about Stan Musial and the hours that I spent with her while she toilet trained you by saying "squeeze".
And Laurie I do hope that you sent her my regards after I talked to you at H.P. graduation at Northmoor.
